“I'm having problems with trying to find tires that a) ride well, and b) look good to accommodate the tire pressure monitors. In this truck the warning light is set so high that I have to keep 80 PSI in the tires. The dealer says it's a requirement by the NHTSA. Are we (consumers) stuck with this problem, or is there some kind of fix that would allow the dealer to adjust the warning down to something like 45 PSI? Thanks for your time.”
NHTSA complaint #10995669, filed 2017-06, 20,000 miles“The vehicle was driving on the highway at around 60 MPH when the ABS and traction control warning lights came on. Immediately after the warning lights flashed on, the right front brake seized up followed by the left front brake. Vehicle skidded to a halt and was no longer drive-able due to the brakes being completely seized. This was extremely dangerous as there was no warning of the sudden stop and inability to fully control the movement of the vehicle. The vehicle could also not be moved further from the roadside. Vehicle was towed to a dealership. …”
NHTSA complaint #11355387, filed 2020-09, 82,000 miles“Purchased 2016 dodge Ram 2500 laramie, mega cab - noticeable vibration at highway speeds between 60-80mph - at certain speeds it's constant, at other speeds it's intermittent. Notified dealership who suggested balancing tires, road forcing tires, etc before bringing it in for warranty service. Took the truck to several tire shops to have the tires balanced, road forced, changed out for different tires, etc. Nothing related to tires fixed the issue. Brought truck back to dealer for warranty service, they replaced two tires that were (supposedly) bad and returned the truck to me. …”
